CAN I GIVE A MINUS TEN STARS? IT WAS COMPLETLY UNUSABLE, DUE TO ZERO "IN APP" EXPLAINATION, & NOW IT'S FILLED WITH INVASIVE PERMISSIONS! IT'S ONLY PRACTICAL USE WAS TO SHARE UNSEEN EMAILS TO IT, IN ORDER TO VIEW & USE ELSEWARE. I REINSTALLED THE OLD VERSION AFTER UNINSTALLING. THIS IS AN UNFORTUNATE WASTE OF WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN A USABLE PRIVACY APP FOR EVERYONE. IN MY OPINION, THIS DEVELOPER IS COMPROMISED BY GOVERNMENT. APP HAS BEEN UNUSABLE FOR YEARS DUE TO LAZY DEVELOPER, WHICH ALWAYS = .GOV

"Filled with invasive permissions"? Not sure what you mean with this. The app only requires one permission. This is to make it easier to lookup the email addresses if contacts. You can deny the contacts permission. The app will still work without it. You only loose the option to lookup recipient addresses.
This only implements half of the solution. You can send encrypted emails all right, but in order to receive encrypted emails you need a separate client. If it integrates well with your client of choice, fine; otherwise, this is not what you are looking for. (07/14/22) Seven years after my first review, the situation has not changed. Removing one star: in seven years the developer could have implemented the complete solution.

This is clearly explained in the store 'CipherMail for Android does not provide functionality to retrieve email. An existing Android mail application, for example Gmail, K9.....".
Does what it says on the box. But the ui could use some work. Really missing an html based viewer of email, I can't control what people send me. Need to find a good way of automatically importing a bunch of public certificates that I've already acquired over time. Otherwise though this solves a pressing need

HTML based email should work including downloading external images (if requested to do so). Try to save an HTML email to a file (.eml) and then open it.
Cant use with 2 step autentication on gmail when sending email.
Just what I needed, worked as expected.
Great App. Saved my day, by opening a p7m file received via mail. Thank you very much.👍🙏
I needed something to open Smime.p7m attachments on my Android that I recieve by my Outlook work email. The other few Apps I tried didn't recognize the attachment. This CipherMail App does exactly what I need with decrypting the attachment so I can open the pdf, excel, and word documents.

How do I delete my account?
I use it to read .p7m files. It works fine but the app can't be associated by default to .p7m files and is not suggested in the list of apps to open these files.
